I know your dilemma all too well. It is worth noting that you normally need a little slack between bead and crimp when it's hung vertically so that the beads can sit properly when the necklace is...

I don't know about rules, but as most people are right-handed, I tend to put the clasp on the right hand side. Often, the necklace can be reversed so it can be done up on either side. If I'm making...
If you are looking to add large silver-coloured beads or spacers into your designs, than a suggestion would be to use the greek ceramic beads that are silver-fused on top - they are affordable and...
I'm with you on this Carole. I started a part-time day course in botanical illustration last September, just for the sheer pleasure of creating something that I feel I don't need to try and sell. ...
Thanks for that tip-off George about the downloadable Photoshop. When I changed PC's I couldn't find the details of my product key so never got around to reloading it, so it's good to see they have...
I'm a sucker for a lovely AA-grade microfaceted stone too :)
I've been having a huge destash of beads, briolettes and findings over the last 6 months and have sold well on eBay. I know they take commission, but it was an area I was familiar with. The sales...
Thanks ver so much for the information and tip about worldpay zinc. I've had a chip n pin machine contract for about 6 years but I don't use it enough now to justify the rental cost and was looking...
I was up in Greville Street last week too and popped into the Bellore/Rashbel shop, which is at the premises of Bellore's at No. 39. I asked who-bought-who out and it appears that Bellore's took...
I think the member called LaVidalerie is based in France, down south. She runs jewellery courses and holidays as well as selling findings and might be able to help. Worth a PM perhaps?
I don't agree either and tbh, with there is a sense on here that it is an inferior skill, so it's not surprising people might be put off.
You can get lovely effects with clay and do really...

I thought the joining fee had been reduced, but the commission upped, so it's worth checking on this as it might suit you better. I'm afraid I don't know anyone on there apart from Carole.
Love it! It's look beautiful and elegant against the black leather.
It's a gorgeous ring. I look forward to seeing your version Peter :)
GF doesn't come particularly cheap by any means of purchase. It is expensive in the UK, but Bellore do have quite a good range. Palmer Metals also have some. It is much cheaper to purchase in the...
I've not been to one of the IJL shows in London, so I can't comment on how good it is. I am going to this year's one though. Alan is exhibiting there.
The nearest underground is Earls Court, but...
I am a big fan of The Tiny Box Co, and like the quality of their wadding that doesn't seem to stick to the jewellery like other cotton wadding. I just pop the smallest boxes into a small PiP box...
Welcome to the forum.
I'm with George on this one. I have soldered gold-fill using 9ct gold solder but I'm not convinced there was too much gold left covering the brass once I'd finished. ...
I agree with Steve, you just can't tell if it's reliable, but you go on recommendations from sites like this and look at the feedback of the seller, the quality of the photos and whether they are the...
I've recently refused a delivery from Amazon of a printer as the box looked like it had been chewed on all the corners and the cardboard seemed damp. I took a photo of the box with my phone, told...
If no-one can find any news on the internet about the sale, how did you come across this information Goldenwonder?
Love designing and seeing the customer wear the item. Hate piercing and polishing, although radial discs are making the latter less tiresome.
Well done Wallace, you will enjoy being your own master and your jewellery is wonderful so I'm sure you will be successful. Onwards and upwards x
I use Tippex, it works but can sometimes be a bit fiddly to remove. I know about the rouge paste but I'm such a mucky bugger that the rouge gets everywhere.
